History of IB at Littleton
In 1997, Littleton High School applied to become an International Baccalaureate Diploma Program school. After approval, the first class of 14 students graduated in 1999 and had a 100 percent passing rate: all students earned their IB diploma.
Since then, the program has flourished. In May 2011, 48 seniors sat for their IB diplomas. Our recent graduates attend universities as diverse as Stanford, Brown, American, Georgetown, Duke, Notre Dame, Northwestern, Wash U- St. Louis, Cal Poly,Tufts, Creighton, Gonzaga, Williams College, University of Denver, University of Colorado and Colorado State, among many others.
Every year, our graduates gain entrance to the most competitive colleges and universities in the nation.
Littleton's IB diploma rate is 93 percent; the worldwide diploma rate is about 80 percent.
More than a third of Littleton High School's teachers have attended intensive IB training that covers curriculum and assessments.
Through the years, our curriculum offerings have grown along with the program.
